Daphni Leef and a number of other social activists on Saturday set up a tent on Tel Aviv's Rothschild Boulevard.

Tel Aviv municipal inspectors later took down the tent.

In July 2011, Leef set up a tent on Rothschild Boulevard to protest the cost of housing in Israel.

That act sparked a protest movement that swept Israel, with tent encampments sprouting up in cities throughout the country and weekly demonstrations that grew to include hundreds of thousands of people.
